2022 Oscar nominations: Full list of Academy Awards nominees

It’s been another tough year for movies.

COVID-19 has disrupted the typical cinematic release schedule, so some movies in the past year have been released in theatres, while others have been viewable on streaming services from the comfort of home. This year’s Academy Awards will take both formats into consideration, as they have at the past several ceremonies.

The 2022 Oscars nominees were revealed early Tuesday morning by actors/comedians Leslie Jordan (Call Me Kat) and Tracee Ellis Ross (Blackish).

A largely virtual awards season has added some unpredictability to this year’s nominations, which are occurring later than usual. (To make way for the Olympics, the Oscars will be held March 27.)

Among the top nominees are Dune, Kenneth Branagh’s black-and-white coming-of-age drama Belfast and Jane Campion’s gothic western The Power of the Dog. Power of the Dog topped this year’s Oscar nominations with 12, and sci-fi epic Dune followed closely behind with 10 nods.

As COVID-19 cases surged in the last two months due to the omicron variant, much of Oscar season also turned virtual. Last year, the pandemic led the academy to host a delayed Oscars in a socially distanced ceremony at Los Angeles’ Union Station. Ratings plummeted to an all-time low of 9.85 million viewers.

This year, the academy has yet to map out plans for its show, except that it will include a host for the first time since 2018. For better or worse, the Academy Awards will also be without its usual lead-in. The Golden Globes in January were a non-televised non-event after NBC said it wouldn’t air them in 2022 while the beleaguered Hollywood Foreign Press reformed itself after ethics and diversity criticism.
